I have gone through and read most of these threads and it just makes me more confussed of which fans and controller to get! Lol

 

im running fans out of a 2000 ford windstar with a madenterprise fan controller.

this covers almost the entire radiator, im surprised ford didnt put these in the truck. its almost a direct fit.






yes, the wires have been cleaned up after these pics were taken

 

OMG did MGD actually admit he was wrong?

 

Not the first time, Patrick!

And I've never had issues with being corrected - as many times as it takes - that's how one learns.

Good ol' Galaxy has got great instincts - and I'm purty much shutdown as far as me brain is concerned - the true sign of a great vacation!

Oops, don't let BJ catch you talkin' to me

OK Cory - I'll distill it down to:

First pick: 2010+ F150 efans and a DCControl controller.

Second pick: Two Derale 16" Tornados (or SPAL equivalants) and a DCControl controller.

I would never advocate a simple on/off controller when capable variable speed units are readily available. The elimination of inrush current concerns and more granular (read: constant temp) control is simply too beneficial to ignore.

MGD

 

DC Controls website recommends using " ... the highest blade diameter possible ..."

BTW, my setup ...

 

That kills me every time I see it


MGD

 

I don't understand ... what's wrong with it?

 

I got it - there's a fan missing! ( top left corner ). Thank Gawd fer redundancy


MGD

 

Mornin' Corey.

Here's a good thread highlighting the 2010 efan, on a boosted truck:

And - a couple more to read (again, you may have already seen these):

The Painless controller is currently having QC issues which is why I'd not recommend them - allegedly a redesigned unit is coming in the fall. DCControl's new units are fresh designs as well.

Lots to absorb, eh? Good luck!


MGD

 

IIRC the stock mechanical fan moves about ~6,500CFMs.

 

Don't forget, Painless Wiring has an awesome controller that's got tons of options and controllability. It's out for a redesign; better heat tolerance or something, and will be available Jul/Aug timeframe. That's what I'm waiting on.

 

Thanks for all yhe help guys! I'll keep you posted on what I all do!
